Ozli

Ozli drank Santa's Secret by DAVIDsTEA

I don’t know if it’s just that I’m sick, but maybe not because Kelly thought the same, but this is a really bland/weak tea. The candycanes are still charming, though.

The cats dipped their noses in this and sneezed and I can’t say I was too heartbroken to pour it out. :/ Weirdly, it was the xmas one I was most excited about! Enjoyed Sleigh Ride last night much more, but we’ll see how that one goes for the second cup.

Teach me how to enjoy Sleigh Ride! :P
But I can honestly see how you would find this weak, too. The black tea isn’t there and it’s mostly vanilla-something with a pinch of peppermint.

Aww. Too bad you guys didn’t care for it. I liked it more than Sleigh Ride, but I wanted something sweet and lightly minty.

Yeah, I don’t tend to go for anything LIGHTLY mint. :P But I actually had it again today when I was intending to make Sleigh Ride (unmarked baggies!!) and liked it more this time. Not MUCH more, though. :P

CrowKettle, I’ll have to have it again so I remember what I liked! ;)

If you enjoy Baileys, this, along with Read My Lips (which tastes/smells like after eights)are somewhat improved by the addition imo :) I don’t know if it helps bring out the mint though.

I do enjoy Baileys!! But it fights back. :P Read My Lips sounds great! (Now that I’m not afraid of chocolate in my tea anymore – at least in loose leaf, anyway.)

Profile

Bio

I drink a lot of tea (and coffee!) and do other things sometimes, like hug cats (3 black cats!) and homeschool a child (the Snick, Snickety Snickface the Sharkboy) and make art and draw things and watch too much television and pretend I’m not home when people knock on the door!

I love art (comics, illustration, storytelling, handcrafts, papercrafts, making things, sharing things, INK, COLOUR, puppetry, painting, photography and obsessively recording things, making up songs and making up words and singing to my cats, plotting melodramatic horrible fanfic with K (the partner in crime), poetry that punches you in the face, having ideas and seeing them turn into THINGS and STUFF, scissors and glue and glitter and making a big mess on the floor)

..and FOOD (yummy things, fall harvests, special treats, preservation and crock pots and canning and growing green things, bright colours and spicy things and new to me foods and fresh fruit and veggies from the garden and living gluten free with no regrets, baking omg baking everything, and into health and how food affects bodies and brains and emotions and how a cup of black tea can be comforting with milk and sugar)

…and most houseology pursuits (well, the fun ones like alternative housing, diy, renovations and building creatively, creative spaces, decluttering and organization and half-assed feng shui, design, eco-housing, cob, small houses, voluntary simplicity, having a good place for a good family and filling it with cats even if you have to pull cat hair out of everything you eat, engineering a less stressful life through environment and care of that environment and light and fresh air)

…and the outdoors (it’s scarf and hat times and fingerless mittens, rocky beaches and bird-watching, racoons and otters, orcas and squirrels, thunder and lighting, windstorms, boats and the ocean and seagulls shrieking, environmental concerns, water, sunshine, bike rides, short cuts through the bush, tree climbing and fire pits)

…and humans (even though I’m a hermit and an introvert, humans are so cool – alphabets and language and dictionaries and body language and mirroring and the way humans talk to one another and make themselves understood, mental health and brains in general, therapy and brain-detangling, daily rhythms, laughing, children, babies, autism and ADD, different ways of learning, homeschooling and reading and listening to radio shows and podcasts, transformative works in all their brilliant varieties, lists and ambitious projects even if they’re never completed, architecture and science, habit and routine, jokes and songs and rhymes and memory work and family stories passed down)…

I LOVE A LOT OF THINGS.

My ratings probably skew high because of this, but I can’t help being optimistic, it is the natural way of things.
